It was a bright afternoon, Zia called Gigi and showed her something on her mobile.
“What?” “have you read this news? 3 people dared to enter the forbidden forest, and could not be found again. They have been missing for 2 weeks and the police cannot find them. Until right now” “oh my gosh, really?” “yes, this news is going viral on X” “but Zia, actually that forest has been known to be haunted for a long time. Many people disappeared there, honestly i'm really curious about that forest” “hey, me too!"
Kring... Kring... Kring...
The bell rang, signaling that break time was over. Zia and Gigi rushed into the classroom before the teacher arrived. But their curiosity about the forest was not over yet.
The clock showed 4 pm, after school they went to eat together. Of course, the topic of conversation about the forbidden forest was the main one. They ate their food, while chatting casually together.
“ Anyway, when are we going on school holidays?" Zia asked Gigi. "Mid December, we will have a long holiday, about 3 weeks" “How about we use that time to go into the forest?”
What should Gigi do?
[[approve zia's statement]]
[[says disagree]]

(bg:black)[They knocked on the house for the first time, but there was no answer. They tried it a second time, but the result was the same, no answer.
Tok... Tok... Tok...
Kriek... There was the sound of the door opening, an old woman came out of the house.
“Who are you? Who are you looking for? Where did you come from? What do you want?”
The woman asked many questions while frowning when she saw Gigi and Zia.

"Wow, look at those birds. Their voices are so relaxing isn't it?" "Yeah Zia, I agree with you."
Then they both walked around the forest, they were very amazed to see the beauty of the forest that most people fear. Lush trees, clear river water and the chirping of birds that decorate the atmosphere.
After walked quite far, they heard strange sounds. They walked backwards to avoid that sounds and bumped into something. They looked back, and how shocked they were after realized that they bumped into two boys who were also shocked when they saw them.
"AAA... there's a ghost," Gigi shouted histerically. "Hei, i'm not a ghost, my name is Ian and this is my friend, Marvellian." "I don't belive you! you are not human!" "you can touch me if you want"
Then Gigi touched Ian's cheek, and realized that he was a human. "Oh okay, you are a human, so what are you guys doing here?" Gigi asked them, "We were running from a very scary giant snake,

Then we found you guys, anyway who are you?" "I'm Gigi and this is my bestfriend, Zia". "Hey, we have the same necklace, did you meet the elders too?" Marvellian asked them. "Yes, we found him, do you still have the talismans he gave you?"
Zia asked. "No, we only have this two necklaces. Can we walk with you guys? please?" "Okay, but don't make trouble for us!" "FINE! we are not that troublemakers you think of," said Marvellian. "Alright then, come on."
Then the four of them walked together through the forbidden forest. Climbing trees together to pick fruit, drinking river water to fishing to eat together, laughing together and really enjoying time together in the forest
[[until the night comes]]
]
"Guys, how about we rest here for the night?" Ian said to his friends, "Yes, I agree, I'm also very tired". They decided to rest in the middle of the dark and dense forest. They fell asleep very soundly.
Until a few moments later Zia woke up from her sleep and she tried to wake up one of her friends who was sleeping."Marvellian, Marvellian, wake up, wake up..." Heuh... What's going on?" "please wake up for a moment, please"
Marvellian woke up from his sleep, he opened his eyes and saw Zia who was already pale and scared, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" "I heard a voice, a very scary voice" "What voice?" "Try to listen carefully"
Marvellian tried to hear the sound that Zia meant.
"HU.. HA.. HU.. HA.."
The sound was real, it sounded very clear. Marvellian tried to wake Ian and Gigi and tried to tell them about the sound.
Gigi who heard the voice, felt scared, the voice was heavy, sounded crowded and scary. She was worried about the safety of herself and her friends. "It seems, we are not the only ones in this forest, how about we should go home soon?"
Ian, Marvellian and Zia looked at each other. They actually still wanted to continue the journey, but on the other hand they were also afraid if they could not return home like other people"
[[Following Gigi and deciding to go home]]
[[Convincing Gigi to continue the journey]]
"Gigi, come on, let's continue the journey, everything will be safe, trust me" Zia tried to convince Gigi, "Yes, that's right, this is exactly what we are looking for in this forest" "It will definitely go safely, trust me".
After trying to give Gigi courage, Gigi decided to follow her friends' plan.
In the middle of the night, with feelings of fear and curiosity, Ian, Gigi, Land and Zia tried to find out the source of the sound they had heard together. They hid in the bushes and saw a group of people circled around the fire.

"HAAP," Gigi screamed and Ian rushed to covered her mouth. "Don't scream Gigi, we could get caught."
"Hoo i'm sorry, i was shocked," Gigi whispered. "Guys, i think we have to get away from here, i don't want to get in problem," Ian said. "I told you guys, we have to go." "Okay okay, please keep calm guys."
They turned back and they saw;

"WAA"
He brought them near to the fire and they were locked up there.

"Oh god i think they will burn and eat us, what should we do now?" Land said. "Do you remember how to use this necklace, guys?" said Ian while pointing at the necklace. "I'm very sorry, we actually don't remember it all too well." "Okay, we have to find out about this."
"Do you guys think there is a spell to activate this necklace?" "Hum I think it does Ian, but I forget what kind of spell it was," Gigi said. "I think that was spanish. Some
think it was something like collar mágico por favor trabaja y danos protección, ayúdanos."
As soon as Zia said that, light appeared on the pendants of those four necklaces.
<iframe src="https://assets.pinterest.com/ext/embed.html?id=924082417286860089" height="350" width="400"></iframe>
"Wow. It's already activated, guys," "All we have to do is ask for help, and this necklace will make it happen."
"Magic necklace, please help us to get out from here."
The ground beneath them began to shake and they suddenly screamed in surprise.
[[Zia opened her eyes]]
They followed Gigi's and and walked towards the outside of the forest. "RUGHH.."
"Oh God, What's sound is that?" Zia asked.

They shocked when they saw kind of lion that had wings and horns. "AAA- what is that!" Gigi shocked. "Guys use your talismans, our talismans are all used up," Ian said. Gigi opened her pouch and threw the talisman into the monster. "Go away you monster, go away from us!"
Their focus was only on that one monster but many other monsters were surrounding them. They didn't know how to use the magic on their necklaces. "No no no... don't come near us." "AAA."
THE END.

[[start]](bg:black)[“I am Zia, and this is my friend Gigi. We are here to meet the elders in this village”
“No you can’t. You guys have to go. Right now!” “Please, we have to meet the elders”.
“What’s going on?” An old man came out of that old house. Seing there were two strange girls, the old man frowned and said, “I am the elders of this village. Who are you? What are you doing here?”
They looked at each other when they realized the old men were the elders of that village. Gigi said, “we want to ask your permission, that we want to enter the forest”. “No you are not allowed to enter the forest, this forest is very dangerous for everyone who enters it,” said the old men.
“We're promise to obey the rules, and return safely. We are promise, please.” “huft…" the old men sighed. “if you really want to go, you must bring these talismans”.
Zia and Gigi went silent for a while. "I thought talismans only existed in fantasy book or movie," said Zia. Gigi was still on silent with her amazed face.
The old man gave three talismans for Zia and three more for Gigi. The talismans have different forms. Two of them were necklaces. And the other talismans were in a pouch.
"Always use those necklaces and don't open the pouch, exept you are in danger," said the old man. Zia and Gigi nodded their heads, then said goodbye and walked towards the forest.

(bg:black)[Zia and Gigi were just silent, the old woman was angry because Zia and Gigi didn't give an answer.
"Get out of here, and never come back again!", the old woman slammed the door, Zia and Gigi decided to go back home because they didn't feel comfortable staying long in the village
[[start over]]
](bg:black)[Gigi laughed when she heard Zia's words, as if she couldn't believe it.
“Sure, why not?”
[[continue to the forest]]

(bg:black)["i would rather not, Zia. That's too dangerous to do. Let's go to London instead."Gigi answered. "I'm so curious about that forest, but you're right Gigi. That's too dangerous, and I'd love to go to London with you." Zia said.
[[go to London]]]
(bg:black)[Long story short, entering mid December, Zia and Gigi started buying equipment to go to the forest that had held many questions. They plan to leave on December 13th. The journey from the city to the forest area takes about 8 hours. They chose to go by bus to save money. Their equipment was almost all ready, do not forget the curiosity and courage burning in their hearts.
This is it, the day you have been waiting for. Wake up at 4.30 am, shower and get ready. They agreed to meet directly at the bus terminal. At around 6 am, Zia and Gigi arrived at the terminal. Their bus would leave at 6.15 from the city terminal to the one of the terminals closest to the forest area.
"Oh my God, finally, it's here”
They had arrived, at one of the old terminals, far from the city and the crowd. They still had to continue their journey to a village, called "Gianziland village". To get to the forest, they have to go to that village, the village that is the gateway to the forbidden forest. They traveled 1 hour from the terminal to get to the village.
“Welcome to Gianziland village” Zia reads the board near the coconut tree.
They both entered the village, The vibes in the village is very calm, there are many children playing traditional games there.
"Excuse me, may i know where the village head's house is?” ask Gigi to the one of the small children who is playing with his friends. The child simply answered by pointing to one of the simple houses right in front of him.“Oh okay, thank you very much”

THE END.
[[start over]] (bg:black)[Zia opened her eyes. "Uh that was such a strange dream, i have to tell Gigi about this.
"Gi, wake up," said Zia tried to wake Giel up. "Uhm Zi, I dreamed about such a strange thing." "Gi, I woke you up because of that reason too. I dreamed about us entered some kind of forbidden forest." "Zi, I dreamed about that too. And then we met two boys named Ian and Land."
"This is so strange." "Gi, look at yout neck." "Oh God, this is talisman given by elders." "Okay Zi, I know it feels so strange, but we can talk about this later. We have to go to school." "Oh you're right, we have a math test today."
They got ready and went to school.
[[school]]
](bg:black)[They studied and memorized the material for the math test, until finally their teacher came.
"Hey class, these two are new students in this school. Please be nice, and I hope you all can get along with them."
"Gi, I think they looked very similar with Land and Ian." "You are right, look at their neck" "HUH, the necklaces!"
"Hey everyone, I hope we can get along," said the boy who wears glasses. Both of those men glanced at Zia and Gig while smiling mischievously as if they knew what Gigi and Zia thought of. "My name is Marvellian and this is my friend Ian, we love nature and adventure. Nice to meet you all."
